I was looking at my startup items in the registry and came across an entry
"TSAdBot". Further investigation showed that this software belongs to
Conducent Technologies and is identified as "Time Sink". The name of the
software leads me to believe that it is some sort of advertising "spyware"
that we have been hearing about. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I am deleting the software from my machine and will see what happens. My
system has been having trouble with Internet connections and that is why I
was investigating.

Thank you for any information you may have to share.
